In addition to expertise in both subjects, the programme fosters the intellectual skills of analytical reasoning, systematic problem solving and the development and clear communication of ideas. Students studying Mathematics and Computer Science study roughly 50% Mathematics and 50% Computer Science. Those interested in a programme with a lesser computer science component can follow Mathematics with Computer Science (UCAS GIG4) the split in this case is 75/25. Teaching excellence and student satisfaction 95% of our 2015 graduates reported in the National Student Survey that they were satisfied overall with their course.
